I was reading http://news.google.com. I found out that GW wants to renew the double-standing Patriot Act! How absurd. I think I mentioned how I disagree with this act because it violates many vital human rights. Most importantly, it allows the government to tap your lines if you are a “suspected terrorist”. They don’t give you a proper trial, instead you have a military trial where a lot of your rights are not provided. I’m not going to go into specifics about it. You can refer to my previous GW rant about this matter.
The other news that caught my eye is the mine explosion in Northeast China. Seems like China is having it’s own little Industrial Revolution (about 100 years late). I’m pretty sure there are more people dead. China likes to censor the news, so who knows the real facts.
In other less important news, only 35 minutes until this dreaded commercialized holiday is over. It’s just another reason to spend money, buy greeting cards and eat a lot of chocolate. The good thing about this holiday is that tomorrow, all those Valentine’s candies and chocolates will be on sale. So run to your nearest CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade or Eckerd to catch them while they last!
I’m using my lovely laptop, and it is quite wonderful. Good night everyone! :tired:
